A high-level Pakistani delegation led by former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zze has arrived in the United Kingdom of what officials described as “successful” diplomatic engagements in New York during last month’s military standoff with India.

The nine member group held conversations with the United Nations representatives, Member States Diplomats and Senior US officials in an attempt to present Pakistan’s tale of the recent India-Pakistan conflict and spokesman for peace in South Asia.

The latest military escalation between India and Pakistan was triggered by an attack in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on April 22 when 26 civilians were killed in Pahagam.

India accused Pakistan of having orchestrated the attack and called it terrorism – an accusation strongly denied by Islamabad. The claim led to Indian military strikes inside Pakistan, triggering days with intense cross -border hostilities between the two neighbors.

“Our message was clear -Pakistan seeks peace and wants all questions, including Kashmir -Tvisten and Indus Waters Treaty, which was resolved through dialogue,” said former foreign secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani, a member of the delegation, in London.

When he spoke to a local news channel, Legislator Khurram Dastgir emphasized the regional impact of water-tuned and called for the restoration of World Bank-mediated Treaty from 1960, which India suspended in April.

“We explained to US officials that India’s suspension of the treaty brings the livelihood of 240 million people and undermines the region’s stability,” he said.

Dastgir emphasized that the water vessel is a matter of survival for Pakistan, claiming the country would not compromise on it.

He pointed out that the Americans initially assumed a ceasefire to be broken by US President Donald Trump did not require further involvement. “Our mission was to make them understand that intervention is necessary as India wants neither a neutral study nor conversations,” Dastgir said.

Senator Sherry Rehman, another member of the group, said the focus of the mission was to advocate for peace and ensure that the water treaty and the Kashmir question remain on the international agenda.

In the UK, the delegation is expected to meet senior British officials to highlight Pakistan’s attitude to the conflict and its broader consequences. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy recently visited both Islamabad and New Delhi after the ceasefire.

“We want stability, but recognize the fragility of the situation, especially in the context of terrorism,” Lammy said, referring to concern about security in the region. He did not reveal details of discussions with Indian leaders.

Islamabad claims that New Delhi denies Kashmiris their right to self -determination and has called on India to implement the UN Security Council’s resolutions. India, on his part, accuses Pakistan of supporting armed militants in the region – a prosecutor Pakistan denies.

Earlier, Bilawal called Donald Trump to convey the efforts to facilitate escalating tension between Pakistan and India.

In an interview with AFP, former Foreign Minister Washington called on to push New Delhi against extensive conversations with Islamabad. While Bilawal noticed Pakistan’s willingness to discuss terrorism, Bilawal said Kashmir -Tvist should remain central to any meaningful dialogue.

He warned against India’s use of terrorism as a pretext for military escalation and warned that such actions are threatening regional stability and jeopardizing over 1.7 billion people in South Asia.

In a speech separately with Chinese media, Bilawal accused India of undermining peace through unilateral actions and cross -border aggression. He also called on the Pakistani Diaspora in the United States to unite in promoting peace and contributing to mutual progress.
